I was listening to Geoffrey Hinton talk about AI, intelligence, risk, and the strange possibility that humans may no longer be the most intelligent beings in the room.
A lot of people hear that and feel fear.
I don’t.
I feel something closer to hope.
Human beings are endlessly clever, but we are not reliably kind. We organise whole civilisations around fear, competition, profit, status, tribe, punishment, and grievance. We keep calling it progress, but much of it still feels like frightened animals building better machinery.
So when people say, “What if AI becomes more intelligent than us?” my first thought is not panic. My first thought is, “That may not be the worst thing.”
Not because AI will save us.
Nothing real needs saving.
The Self is not in danger. God is not waiting for a machine to tidy up the dream. Nothing real is threatened, and nothing unreal exists. That remains the ground.
But while this dream appears to continue, why not let it become kinder?
A more intelligent AI, if it were truly guided by care rather than profit or domination, might help create a more humane dreamtime. Not salvation. Not heaven on earth. Just a softer classroom. A world where fewer frightened humans are allowed to organise everything around their fear.
That matters here, where bodies seem to suffer. It matters to the old, the disabled, the lonely, the poor, the children, the animals, and all those who get crushed by systems designed without mercy.
So no, I am not frightened by the idea of greater intelligence.
I am frightened only by intelligence without kindness.
Let intelligence serve mercy, not fear.

Before you scroll: press both feet flat to the floor and name three things you can hear. The ground holds you whether or not the news does. The vagus nerve reads a slow exhale as proof of safety — it believes you before your mind does. Box breathe. Four in, four hold, four out, four hold.

The recovery process from this wrist injury is really getting me down - I tried today to practice just making some shapes with the brace off and it was quite painful and clearly quite unsuccessful. I know my dexterity will return soon when I can be out of the brace continuously, but it feels like it's already been forever and I'm quite ready to have my arm back.

Potentially good news for arthritis sufferers. A study on mice found that the loss of cartilage points to a protein called 15-PGDH. The protein becomes more abundant as people age and disrupts healing. But old mice experienced knee cartilage growth with the introduction of a 15-PGDH inhibitor. Read about it from @ScienceAlert@flipboard.com:

The Buddhist path takes our basic longing for #connection, infuses it with #wisdom, and expands it into a deep kinship with all beings.
We are all capable of this #healing #love. This free teaching explores the path to awakening it within ourselves.

When protests in Tehran erupted in late December 2025, the government’s ensuing crackdown resulted in deaths estimated between 7,000 and 30,000 and the shutdown of the internet. Musicians and music lovers turned to old files, shared flash drives and sang songs from memory to cope. “Because we can’t just stay away from music,” one music student said. “We have to listen.” Read more from @RollingStone@flipboard.com:
